Author's note: Shall probably show up in my fanfiction someday. I'm not sure where all the angst is coming from…just getting too into my characters' situations, I suppose. But anyway, here.

Broken

Why did I believe in love

A thing so seldom true

Oh, why have I waited so long

For someone's heart—for you?

I saw you

In your perfection

You saw me

In my need

I saw your heart

Through ice and stone;

You left my heart

To bleed.

You heard me

Tell my story

I heard you

Speak your lie

You heard my soul

All I hold true

And left it there

To die.

I felt you

When you suffered

You felt me

With my dreams

I felt your pain

Pent up inside;

Mine's bursting

At the seams.
